Building code almost everywhere in the US is walls insulated to a minimum of R16, ceiling to R32( R-value (US) = RSI × 5.678263337, RSI (SI) = R-value × 0.1761101838; therefore R16 = rsi 2.8, R32 = RSI 5.6). To get above R16 in the walls you have to either use Mod 24 framing or insulating sheething because the heat loss through the studs will be greater than the heat loss through the insulated wall space. I rather suspect the European house not to be better insulated, in fact considering the longevity of the materials used in european construction, more homes in europe could be expected to be less insulated than their newer NA counterparts. I have gotten drunk in Gasthuases that are more than twice as old as the US.
I use 7,000 MWH per year, though I live alone in an apartment. As far as big power draws, I only have the TV on when I'm actually using it, but have 2 computers that are on 24/7 and another that is on probably 12/7. I have A/C but heat is on gas. I have no idea how much each thing contributes to my bill, but based on the month-to-month graph I suspect A/C is over half of my electricity use.
In Most places several homes share a 4.3 KW transformer, there is 61,320 hours in a year so 7,000 MWH per year, (7GWHr) is 7,000,000 KWH/ 61,320 Hr/Yr = 114.2 KW; 114.2 KW / 4.3 KW/xformers = 26.5 transfomers! The biggest enterence box I've seem was a 400 Amp Siemens, used to feed the X-ray machines in a medical office, you're saying your pulling 475.833333333 Amps 27/7/365. I figure that at an average of 16 cents a KWHr, your monthly bill should be arround 93 million dollars.
No way, they put little leprechauns in those cans up on the power pole that the wires go into and out of and they sort out the green electrons from the coal-black electrons and send them to the right customers.
Hope you don't get Earthquakes; stone and earthquake don't go together to well. Just look at what has happened in Turkey and Iran this last decade or so.
People in North America don't use the European style brick homes. Possibly the reason is we had and have extensive forrests that make wood cheap unlike Europe. I've often wondered why we don't use the exterior steel window shutters like they do in Germany, then google lead me to Rolladen hurricaine shutters in Florida.
My bosses house was in a flood a few years back, and had a walkout basement with an Andersen sliding glass door. That door had water waist high against it and all of the leakage was under the door not through the door proper, quite amazing actually.
And I still don't get how practicing martial arts relates to protecting buildings from hurricanes.
The basic philosophy of soft-style martial arts is more about it's much easier to redirect an irresistable force than it is to stop one, the same is true with torandoes and cyclones.
Well I live in Michigan and Sandy meant 4 days without any significant sunlight, and a lot of people were without power for those 4 days, so I can't see solar panels really helping anyone on the Jersey coast.
Firemen can break down just about anything between the gasoline operated abrasive wheel saws and the "Jaws of Life". If it gets to tough for them, there's alway det-cord and duct tape to cut through the hinges and latches in one big bang.
My understanding is the camera video stream is both send uplink to a satellite and back to the pilots and sensor operators and sent down to the troops so they get an aerial view of their tactical situation. It shouldn't be technically challengeing to put both an encrypted actual veiw down to the ground troops, and an unencrypted video stream with doctored video to misslead the opposing forces. I'd be surprised if there was only one frequency available for downlinking video.
I do not understand why an encrypted digital signal would be less robust than an unecrypted digital stream; unless your implying that the unencrypted stream is also analog.
Most of the intended audiences for the "OMG the American infadels killed innocent women and children" stories aren't sophisticated enough to actually watch a video anyways.
The interesting thing is I wouldn't be surprised if you could get the video stream on a 3 generations old smartphone,
if that the case, and you have enough of the fleet beaming unencrypted video to make it worthwhile to try and intercept, then it's also very possible to transmit false videos over the unencrypted channel and the real video over an encrypted channel. This would have some very interesting tactical possibilities.
You need a little more compression to light #2 fuel oil, the engine in the duece and a half, LDS-427 Turbo Multifuel I-6; LDS-465 Multifuel I-6; 127 to 170 hp (95 to 130 kW) will burn it OK, but they are small for data center usage. I'm sure there are marine engines off the shelf that are both large enough and able to run on both.
Considering a ass whipping GWB took over Katrina, the number of well-heeled liberal Democrats in the Empire State and the proximity to the elections I doubt that there will be any problems with FEMA. Obama is probably happier than a slinky on an escalator that there is something to distract people from the Bengazi debacle. I know as far as hurricanes go Sara is much as far as intensity goes, but she's a big sucker, we've had Gale and near gale wind in Michigan for a couple days now.
That's because the cost of funding terrorists is less than the cost of not paying your tribute. Even here in the US, an educated middle-class Muslim business man has to ocassional participate in thr "right" protests and make a donation to the "right" cultural center so his business doesn't get robbed or vandalized.
I like film, especially film camera that don't have a boatload of automation that you have to work around to get the camera to do what you want. I can take my old film based dinosaur camera set the shutter speed and appature close and start shooting. I'd rather have a piece of film that needs to exposure tweaked a bit during printing and a soft focus tha let a digital camera make me totally miss miss a shot in an effort to make the picture "perfect".

If it's hot enough, you sweat enough to wash off any smell.
Wood stud construction has more for insulation inside the wall.

There is no sound on earth that is more blood cruddling than the sound of a remington pump action shootgun racking in a round.

Diesel generators run fine on Natural Gas and quite a bit cleaner too.
Where might be a geologicaly stable location be? If the new madrid fault ruptures half the continent will be ringing at 8 on the rickter scale.

If this administration does not have control of the levers of government who ordered that?
Probably the same guy that was in charge of diplomatic security in Benghazi.

Dashboard cammeras are fairly common in Russia from what I'm told and you see things like Lightning hits the SUV
Technically the Federal Government is a Foriegn State, which can lead to uncomfortable situations between the Army and the National Guard.
